Warmer Mind Sway

I am so tired At kitchen table Cat stare orange I sit on chair Handkerchief red, pencil box black Chair cat grey I shut my eyes and think of blue I open and shut my eyes I sway my body back and forth in a gray soft robe I sway I will leave my house in this mess Water in the sink like stream, like puddle, silver, then fade Box on the floor like brown Shoes with cat Open drawer Ribbon White cat floor Jacket, scarf, jacket, shawl Clock Three hours backward Couch like homeless lumps Humming electric ============== Screen saver swim swim swim I could have peanuts, coffee I could have lotion Pillows, blankets, get naked Joy, curl Slide sheets say, “Home” Run my legs in the covers Run run run Blankets … Blankets … Warmer, mind sway Swoom. Black screen. Last eyeshow inside lids The feeling This feeling Takes a day alone — to fall, to rest, to believe in real meaning Meaning is in the darkness, the alone. I fall like this out of this world into the darkness — thank you.
